Al-Arabiya has reported on the case of a Saudi man who beat and then shot his daughter after he caught her conversing with a man via Facebook.
The incident actually happened last August, but has come to light again in the wake of remarks by Saudi preacher Ali al-Maliki, a vocal critic of the social networking site and other decadent Western influences.
"Facebook is a door to lust and young women and men are spending more on their mobile phones and the Internet than they are spending on food," al-Maliki recently proclaimed.
There may be as many as 30,000 Facebook users in Saudi Arabia. One Facebook group, Single and Looking in Saudi Arabia, boasts over 1,800 members and features the sort of explicit images that normally get your genitals sliced off with a sword in that sort of country.
Old school Saudis also fear that Facebook promotes homosexuality. As we all know, men fucking men is bad, but men fucking camels is perfectly fine.
